Context: Abnormal running kinematics and insufficient hip strength may contribute to LE injury. Understanding how these variables are related can assist the development of interventions. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between hip strength and LE running kinematics in the frontal and transverse planes in trained, competitive female runners. Methods: Nineteen healthy female collegiate cross-country (XC) runners had kinematic data recorded via motion analysis during a running protocol and static strength measured in the laboratory. Main outcome measures: Frontal plane kinematic variables, knee abduction (KABD) excursion, peak KABD angle, and hip adduction (HADD) excursion, were compared to hip abduction (HABD) strength. For the transverse plane, hip internal rotation (HIR) excursion was compared to hip external rotation (HER) strength. Strength was quantified as maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and rate of force development (RFD). Results: Weak and non-significant correlations were found between MVIC and LE running kinematics and RFD and LE kinematics (p<0.006). Conclusion: Caution should be used when correlating clinical measures of strength and observations of running gait analysis. Additional research is needed to identify the role of RFD on running kinematics.
